The dual-clutch hinge opens smoothly and holds the display firmly in place, another aspect that evokes quality.

It’s easily the equivalent of the MacBook Pro 16, another well-built laptop, and you won’t find any other machine that exudes a more quality feel. The XPS 17 remains just as high-quality as always, with zero bending, flexing, or twisting. You can’t complain about the build quality, though. The LG Gram 17 Pro is an even thinner (0.70) and lighter (3.2 pounds) 17-inch machine, but it also runs much slower components. As we’ll see in the performance section, while the XPS 17 did better at gaming (surprisingly), it couldn’t keep up in productivity and creative applications. The MSI Creator Z17 HX Studio, for example, also has a 17-inch display to go with its high-end components, and it’s thinner at 0.75 inches (versus 0.77 inches) and just slightly heavier at 5.49 pounds (versus 5.37 pounds). The problem for Dell is that some other manufacturers are also making thin and light machines that pack in more power and don’t suffer from the same thermal limitations as the XPS 17 (see the performance section). Interestingly, the XPS 17 is meant to be a thin and light laptop - and it is. If you’re looking for something that looks more contemporary, then you’ll be disappointed that Dell made absolutely zero changes. The XPS 17 remains a great-looking laptop, and if you’re like me and appreciate its aesthetics, then you’ll be happy with the carryover. But it also looks a bit dated beside the more all-aluminum design that just popped up on Dell’s XPS 13 lineup. It’s an elegant look, and the fiber palm rests provide a warm and inviting surface. I’ve always liked the aluminum and carbon or glass fiber combination in the XPS 15 and XPS 17 designs.
